Geoff Johns joins Let's Talk Comics to talk about building Ghost Machine from the ground up and what it means to commit to long-form, creator-owned storytelling.

We dive into how Geiger, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus, and Hyde Street were developed, why each universe has its own lane, and what changes when creators control the future of their characters. Geoff also shares craft lessons that still guide his work and explains why having real endings in mind changes everything.

It's a great look at how modern comics are built and why the long game still matters.

Patrick Kindlon joins Let's Talk Comics to talk about the craft behind his work, from breaking in through indie comics to building books like Frontiersman, Gehenna, and now Tigress Island. In this episode, Patrick digs into failing early, writing full scripts while leaving room for collaboration, building stories from character first, and learning how to survive criticism in a very public industry. We also dive into Tigress Island, his latest Image Comics thriller, a tense, pulpy escape story brought to life with gorgeous art by EPHK. If you care about the nuts and bolts of making comics and getting better with every book, this one's for you.

This week on Let's Talk Comics, writer Doug Wagner joins the show for an in-depth conversation about crime storytelling and how creative discipline leads him to some of his best work

The conversation digs into Wagner's work on Narco, his latest crime/horror series that blends drops it's main character in the middle of a murder mystery while dealing with....you guessed it, narcolepsy. Doug talks about what draws him to darker stories, and how he approaches writing crime in a way that feels grounded and purposeful rather than exploitative.

From there, Doug also talks about his expansive Materials Universe, including Plastic, Vinyl, and Plush, and how each project helped shape his voice as a writer. He also gets into some deep process talk, explaining how his process has evolved over time, the importance of consistency, and the realities of sustaining momentum in a constantly shifting industry.

This is one you cannot miss.
